Visual Java?

I'm currently preparing to get training in Java - in hopes of making myself more marketable in the software developer market - by working through the book "Teach Yourself Programming with Java in 24 hours". It seems like the language is mostly text based (i.e. - we don't use visual tools, like Visual Studio 2005 for C# or VB, to build GUI's). Is this true? Or are there visual methods I don't know about?

(NOTE: I'm using NetBeans 6.x.x, and I did see some visual tools, in it; however the text, that I'm studying, doesn't seem to use these; preferring instead to show the manual JScrollPane, or JButton objects).
